Not all heroes wear capes
The landscape of community management changed over the last 6 months and we see you out there trying to do more with less or pivot your programs completely as you slide under new direction or lose members of your teams. 

We just wanted to tell you that we see you, continuing to provide value & foster meaningful spaces for your communities and wanted to dedicate the start of this email to you. We encourage you to take a deep breath, and pat yourself on the back. We got this. Thanks for showing up. Thanks for being you.

With great affection, 
Your Uncommon community team

Join newest Roomie Trevor Spires and Nikki Thibodeau as they talk about finding your data and then figuring out what to do with it when you do.
